Training 2019 Practice Matches

[eth-dog]

Usually we get a bit of interest in these threads so that's why I put it here.

Richmond vs Essendon, Beaconsfield, 02/03/19 at midday
Essendon vs Coburg, Cragieburn, 23/03/19 at midday
Sandringham vse Essendon,TBO, 30/03/19 ar 12:30

Coburg will probably deciding on who to keep/cut a bit. Hopefully the other two are more of a challenge

 

[eDPS]

Count me in for the Beaconsfield game

 

[eth-dog]

Given the AFL side, expecting the following AFL listed players to have a kick around:

Stewart, Mutch, Mosquito, Houlahan, Zerk-Thatcher, Gown, Ham, D Clarke, Draper, Mynott, McNiece

Blokes like Myers might play a half but I doubt it.

 

[eth-dog]

Up 7-14 at QT. No idea who's kicked goals, the Richmond twitter is updating us rather than ours.

 

['51 Bewick]

Please post anything you here eth. Don't have twitter.

 

[eth-dog]

Up 16-29 in the third. Stewart has at least one (possibly 2).

We're building quite an interesting VFL squad this year.

Combination of the usual grunts for the midfield but also some guys with some run, flair and size for the flanks.

With the maturing of the bottom end of our AFL list and the KPP strength of the list it's going to be a fun VFL year.

 

[eth-dog]

They've kicked the last 4 to be up 36-29

 

[eth-dog]

Lost by 13 in the end. Luke Nelson kicked 4 for them.

 

[eth-dog]

Apparently we're playing Geelong in a Praccy today as well. Houlahan has 4 goals, Stewart has at least 2, we're up 67-25 in the third.

 

[eth-dog]

Marty Party and Redman are apparently playing restricted minutes this week's practice match. We'll put out a strong side methinks, even if it's only Coburg (sobs).

Long - Hartley - Gleeson/Redman (half each maybe)
Heppell - Zerk-Thatcher - McNiece
Jok - D Clarke - Lazzaro
Ham - Stewart - Connellan
Mosquito - Gown - Z Clarke
Draper - Mutch - Mynott

And a bunch of the VFL players. Aylett, McKenna, Hocking, Younan, etc. I'd be betting we play a 12 man bench or so.

 

[eth-dog]

Even 100 point win against Coburg. 23.11 to 7.7

Have nothing on disposals/goals other than Parish getting 5 from eDPS

 

[eth-dog]

Our last praccy is against Sandringham at 12:30 on Saturday, in Sandy. They've won 2 of their 4 practice matches so far. We play there later in the season too.

 

[eth-dog]

Could be an interesting test against Sandy. I think the two teams will line up somewhat like:

Ridley - Hartley - Redman

Gleeson - BZT - McNiece

Jok - Clarke - Mutch

Connellan - Stewart? - Laverde

Mosquito - Gown - Younan

Draper - Clarke - Heppell

Houlahan - Ham - Mynott - Aylett - McKenna - Lazzaro etc

Strong team. Good idea to leave Ridley out perhaps - Woosh would never ever live it down were he to get injured!

I think it's better for him to play, Laverde needs to play, so that leaves Zerk or Clarke as held over emg. Went with Clarke to allow the VFL rucks a gig

 

[Bombers36]

Surely Margaret gets held over....

 

[Parker400]

Bzt came off limping play stopped . Ankle looks not great

 

[Parker400]

Laverde now limping off with a ankle Injury

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Mynott, Lav, BZT... only Redman away from worst possible scenario

 

[Parker400]

Mossies goal was so good the whole team got to him . Draper 38? Been good and Redman imo

 

[BrunoV]

You make your own luck. Sandy is a cow paddock.

 

[eDPS]

76 to 40 we win

Hearing Mosquito looked sensational

 

[Parker400]

A tad of a overstatement he is raw and play ok. jok was great. draper was really good. Gowan. Hartley kept us in it with his kicking

 

[BrunoV]

Laverde now limping off with a ankle Injury

**** sake. Any idea how bad it is?
